Hikers are startled by unusual sounds in Staunton State Park

The witness and a companion were resting quietly on a rocky outcropping during a daytime hike when they heard a low growl-like exhalation immediately followed by a higher-pitched whoop from the forest below. The sounds were attributed to a single unseen animal about 30-40 yards away that seemed startled by a passing mountain biker. They searched the area a few minutes later but found nothing and heard nothing further.

Two friends witness daytime road crossing near Conifer

Two companions driving home from a day trip saw a tall, dark grey bipedal figure run across the highway in a few long strides. It crossed the full width of the road and climbed a steep embankment with little apparent effort. When they stopped at the crossing site they noted several mule deer nearby that did not flee.

Picnicker has daytime sighting outside Buffalo Creek

In 1978 the witness was picnicking with family near Wellington Lake in the afternoon when she saw a white-furred bipedal creature about 60 feet away. The creature repeatedly stepped out from behind a boulder and ducked back as a companion turned to look, repeating this four to five times before disappearing. The companion never saw it. The creature alternated between bipedal and stooped postures and moved swiftly and silently, striking the witness as playful rather than frightening.
